CALL FOR ENTRIES: Global Urban Humanities Photo Contest
Did you travel to an interesting new city this summer or explore your own neighborhood in depth? Have you captured a unique urban scene you'd like to share? Global Urban Humanities is launching its inaugural photo contest in preparation for the Fall semester. We're looking for new angles both literal and metaphorical on the human experience in cities as well as innovations in design and insights into urban participation. The top three winners will receive a membership to OMCA or a $50 Powell's Gift Certificate, and the top submissions will be included in future GUH material and published on our website.
Email your entries to globalurbanhumanities@berkeley.edu with the subject line "Photo Contest" or tweet us @UrbanHumanUCB by September 19th.
